USDT stablecoin premium in India jumps over 8.5% due to tight supply and high local demand.

In India, the price of Tether's USDT stablecoin surged to a premium of over 8.5% above the official USD/INR exchange rate, reaching 102.88 rupees compared to the official 94.65 rate. This sharp rise from the usual 3-4% premium reflects a sudden shortage of USDT supply amid strong local demand for dollar exposure, driven by India's large crypto market and heavy taxes on crypto gains. USDT acts as a dollar substitute for Indian traders avoiding rupee conversions and fees, causing the premium to represent a hidden cost and stress in the market. The premium also highlights India's strict foreign currency controls, and it remains to be seen if new USDT supply will ease the gap or if the premium signals deeper market frictions.
